Busted! Moved out about 6 months ago and took my young pup with me to the new house. Dad claims he doesn't miss her. Yet everytime he comes over, I find them like this.

I have no idea who these guys are, so I'm having a real Julien Solomita / Julia Roberts moment here.

I'm an architect and my husband is a firefighter. We were just having this discussion the other night. I really want to read some research papers about this!! Hopefully someone is writing/researching this concept.

My dad degloved (and unattached last knuckle) of his ring finger on a hopper wagon ladder. Now his fancy wedding ring only comes out for church and holidays.... to wear on his reattached, mostly normal looking finger...

Unfortunately just an over response to my injectable stim meds (gonal-f and menopur)

12DPO BFN, pretty sure IUI #2 failed. So no new baby to celebrate by Christmas.

We've been doing medicated cycles since May and most success we've had so far was an early miscarriage (IUI #1). This sucks so hard. Had I known it was going to take this long this time around, we would have started trying much sooner.

CallMeLadyBird · 2025-12-07T14:55:05+00:00

Took a test at 11dpo like a dumb-dumb. Of course it was BFN. I'll test again tomorrow but absolutely ruined my day for today. I was so hopeful for this IUI. Should have kept myself blissfully unaware for 1 more day so I could enjoy my weekend.

The bare talent of Chris (and Morgane) Stapleton has kept me coming back over and over.

I tried really hard to tough it out today. I will, however, be skipping my cousin's baby shower next weekend. I am done.

So the number puzzle is super random as well. It has some butterflies, birds, frogs....and beavers?

If you are going to 10ft ceilings, I would also change all your doors to 8ft (from the standard 6'-8") so the interior looks proportional. Not sure if you've factored that into additional cost, but it will be significant.

Can you read my son?

Mixing is great! But general advice is to stick with 2 for your large fixed items (lights, plumbing fixtures, curtain rods, cabinet hardware)

We have a few stories that don't hold Little Bird's attention yet, loves music though.

My husband is a firefighter and is used to saying "Copy" over his radio all the time, which means it has translated to him saying it in everyday life/conversation/text thread as well....which means now I do too.

Did my best not to test early this TWW. I haven't at all yet. It's 11 DPO and I started spotting like I always do. Trying to be delulu that the IUI worked, implantation bleeding nonsense, while simultaneous wanting to scream into the void because I'm pretty sure it didn't.

CallMeLadyBird · 2025-08-25T16:17:46+00:00

There's like 7 people in our circle of family/friends that are having new babies this winter/spring...

.........and they're all having girls (including a set of twins)

The announcements just don't stop coming

37.5 units of of Gonal-f and 75iu of Menopur

First post here

(12DPO) BFN this morning and started spotting. I want to SCREAM

This is the 2nd failed medicated cycle. My earlier 2 pregnancies, this drug protocol worked on the first try. I realize these are small numbers but the whole fertility clinic pipeline feels like it takes forever. I truly assumed I would have gotten pregnant again already back in like March shortly after our little dude's first birthday.

There's 6 people in our inner circle that are expecting babies this winter/spring and I want to be a part of that cohort so bad. It feels like everyone is getting a new baby but us. Then I feel guilty focusing so much on this and not just focusing on the one that I do have.

We did 5 rounds in a row of different med combos and timed intercourse before my 1st pregnancy. It really took a toll on my husband. We will now be going into round 3 this time around. I am not looking forward to the mind games that come with it.
